Heyman reports that the New York Yankees were among the teams that made a serious offer for the transcendent two-way talent. 

Ohtani, 28, has had his name entrenched in trade talks due to the lacklustre performance of the 43-59 Angels, who sit second last in the American League West.  

Ohtani has a record of 9-6 so far this season in 99.1 innings of work, recording 145 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.81 while batting .255 with 22 home runs.
